The Fantastic Four (Season 1)

The Fantastic Four (1967) is a Saturday-morning cartoon you can watch online on iFILM. It holds a real first: this was the earliest animated series ever drawn from Marvel's comic-book team, arriving on screens in 1967.

The lineup is Reed Richards, Sue Storm, her brother Johnny, and the rocky strongman Ben Grimm, all granted powers after a flight through cosmic rays. Mister Fantastic stretches like rubber, the Invisible Girl vanishes from sight, the Human Torch bursts into flame, and the Thing becomes a walking wall of stone. Together they trade blows with Doctor Doom, Galactus and other foes across short, hand-drawn episodes from the golden age of TV animation. Reach for it if you want to see where Marvel's screen story began, or to show a kid the earnest, old-school roots of the superhero cartoon. Stream The Fantastic Four (1967) online on iFILM.
